If the 30–80 mm pebble generated during autogenous grinding is used as the medium to crush the ore, the process is called pebble grinding. The density of pebble is less than that of steel ball, and its friction coefficient and contact area with the ground ore are greater than those of steel ball, so pebble grinding process has strong grinding force …

Adoption of autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding (AG/SAG) would lead to a significant simplification alternative to such plants. Within the scope of AG/SAG grinding, several approaches can be used in size reduction. For instance, the mill may be operated in the absence of steel grinding media (AG) or with steel balls (SAG) (Gupta …
